OBE PTA

We do not have any information regarding school closure at this time. We will update you as soon as we have further information.

Coming up THIS Friday!!

Superintendent Balgobin and VUE President Elizabeth Albert are pleased to announce an agreed upon plan for making up the instructional time lost due to the impacts of Hurricane Ian. Instruction was suspended at all Volusia County Schools for 5 days due to the storm resulting in a loss of 25 hours of instruction. In order to recover instructional time lost and recognizing that changing the calendar to have school on the previously identified make-up days may negatively impact family plans, an agreement has been reached to convert 7 early release Wednesdays to regular school days recovering 7 hours of instruction. The identified dates are:
October 26
November 2
November 16
November 30
December 7
December 14
January 4

These dates will be regular school days and will not end an hour early. Any professional learning planned on these dates will be cancelled. A revised calendar will be made available on the VCS website.

‘Tis that time of year… Trunk or Treat!! Sign up to have a trunk!!

Our hearts go out to everyone in our community who has encountered serious damage from Hurricane Ian. As a major part of the community’s recovery efforts, United Ways across the state of Florida are ready to help those whose lives have been affected by Hurricane Ian. In the "Note for the Donor Scroll" please be sure to note the location/county to which your gift is directed.

FROM DR. BALGOBIN, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

At this time, all school-based shelters are closed, and evacuees have been transported to the Ocean Center. I would like to thank all staff who worked tirelessly to meet the needs of our community.

I am extremely proud of our VCS family who worked together with our partners at the EOC, the Sheriff's Office, other law enforcement agencies, and local municipalities. THANK YOU!

I understand that everyone is anxious to return to normal operations. Please know that Volusia County Schools continues to work diligently to prepare our schools to reopen safely for our students and staff.

We are continuing to conduct comprehensive walkthroughs of all our campuses to determine damages and readiness to reopen.

We have a few schools we are monitoring closely due to standing water and/or debris.

At this time, we are scheduled to reopen schools on Wednesday, October 5th.
11-month and 12-month district and school-based administrators, please report on Monday, October 3, 2022. Any administrator who is not able to report should contact their immediate supervisor.

Thank you, Volusia County, and
